Main arguments: 1) Its lame 2) Its not part of the russian playstyle 3) It encourages bad gameplay.
"Its Lame". This is a biased opinion from someone who considered themselves a pwner of noobs or God like and didn't wanted to formulate a new playstyle to beat someone who uses trenches in there playstyle, so he whines about it.
"Its not part of the Russian playstyle". Dumbest thing I ever heard. In war its not a playstyle its a tactic. Trenches were a huge part of Russian warfare. Espescially in urban warfare. For example in Stalingrad trenches were used to block streets and to get from building to building without getting shot by snipers. Here are some excerpts from wikipedia:
"At the Battle of Sevastopol, Red Army forces successfully held trench systems on the narrow peninsula for several months against intense German bombardment"
"For example, at the Battle of Stalingrad, soldiers on both sides dug trenches within the ruins. In addition, before the start of the Battle of Kursk, the Soviets constructed a system of defence more elaborate than any other they built during World War II. These defences succeeded in stopping the German armoured pincers from meeting and enveloping the salient."
From those it sounds like the russians Knew a thing or two about Trench warfare.
"It encourages bad gameplay". What many mean by this is "Camping". AKA fortifying a position and holding is a basic battle tactic. Like fortifying houses, building bunkers and mg nests, or hard cover. Yes, however trenches can take a lot of damage in game. Would it be possible to make it so that if a grenade, mortar, or arty shell falls directly into the trench it causes a lot of damage to the occupants.
I don't understand why there is so much opposition against trenches? Why would they remove them when some slight tweeking could of fixed the problem. Well I am done from here on. Troll and bash if you want IDC.
